By RICK BURNHAM rburnham@lakecityreporter.com The woman facing a charge of murder in the weekend shooting of a 29-year-old Lake City man is the director of a daycare center less than a block away from her home, according to offi cials from Early Childhood Coalition, a statewide agency responsible for reimbursing private childcare facilities. Lake City police say 40-yearold Lavelle Nicole George shot Maurice Mickler to death in her home Saturday and then tried to destroy the evidence before eventually calling 911. She was booked at the Columbia County Jail early Sunday before being released on $255,000 bond. Thomas Logan, executive director of ECC, said George is the director of L-Pop 2, a daycare center located at the corner of SE Camp St. and SE Ermine Avenue, just across from Melrose Elementary School.

The event is organized by the Lake City-Columbia County Chamber of Commerce and title sponsored for the eighth consecutive year by the Lake City Reporter. The fireworks event is moved to the fairgrounds this year because recent flooding left the area around Lake DeSoto down town too wet and unsafe for the event. A crowd of more than 25,000 is expected to attend the event at the fairgrounds. The event is free, but those attending are asked to bring a dona tion of non-perishable food or toiletry items that will be collected by the Florida Gateway Food Bank for distribu tion solely to Columbia County flood victims.

Rick Scott officially asked for fed eral help Sunday in the wake of Tropical Storm Debby. Scott requested that President Barack Obama make a major disaster declara tion, allowing Florida counties hit hard by the storm to qualify for aid. The Federal Emergency Management Agency will review Scotts request and advise Obama on whether to issue a declaration. If a declaration is made Individual Assistance could be granted to qualifying counties. In the event assis tance is not granted, Scott may file a sup plementary request for assistance from the Small Business Administration. Scotts request is based on prelimi nary damage assessments by FEMA and state teams in Columbia, Baker, Bradford, Pasco and Wakulla counties. The federal aid request will be amend ed to include additional counties based on assessments already underway. State officials, in partnership with FEMA, are currently conducting dam age assessments in counties that were impacted by the storm. These assess ments will continue as additional coun ties complete initial damage assess ments. If the federal designation is granted, a range of resources will open up to the county for flood aid and assistance. Then we start getting inundated with representatives and information about what programs are out there, both from the government side of infrastructure and then to the private side of grants, loans, whatever, county public informa tion officer Harvey Campbell said. Our hope right now is that sooner rather than later we get a federal decla ration, Campbell said. Wed love to see it by the end of this week.

Suit to keep Obama off ballot dismissed TALLAHASSEE A judge is throwing out a lawsuit that sought to keep President Barack Obama off Floridas ballot. Leon County Circuit Judge Terry Lewis ruled Friday that the lawsuit had a number of flaws, including the fact that Obama is not yet that Democratic Partys presidential nominee. That will take place at the partys convention in Charlotte, N.C. next month. The lawsuit by Fort Lauderdale automobile sales man Michael Voeltz chal lenged whether Obama can serve as president because he isnt a natural born citi zen. It not only questioned Obamas Hawaiian birth cer tificate, but said he wasnt qualified to be president because his father wasnt an American citizen. Voeltz was represented by conservative legal activist Larry Klayman. Fla. gets bonus in food stamps TALLAHASSEE Florida is getting a $9.1 mil lion bonus from the federal government over how the state is running its food stamp program. The Department of Children and Families announced on Monday that the federal government has awarded the state a bonus for the fifth year in a row. DCF said that Floridas error rate of 0.87 was the second lowest in the nation behind Alaska. State agencies across the country are required each year to review a statistical sample of households and double-check if the fam ily is eligible for assistance and whether the benefits levels are appropriate. In May there were approximately 3.4 mil lion people receiving food stamps in Florida. Suit alleges sex abuse at school MIAMI In a lawsuit filed against a Miami charter school, a woman claims her 7-year-old son was bullied and sexually assaulted by an 11-year-old boy. The mother and her attor ney are holding a news con ference Monday afternoon in Miami. In a media release, attor ney Jeff Herman says the incidents began in 2011 while the child rode the Carmen Alvarez Bus Service to Downtown Miami Charter School. The mother notified the driver that the driver forced her son to perform oral sex while on the bus. Herman says the bus driver took no action. The mother then contacted Principal Rebecca Dinda, who assured her the abuse would stop. But he says the sexual abuse continued and the boy eventually attempted suicide. Dinda didnt immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press.

IDs of 3 killed outside Marlins Park released NEW YORK Anderson Cooper, who has been reluctant to talk about his personal life in public, revealed that he is gay in an essay posted online on Monday. The CNN journalist said he had kept his sexual orientation private for per sonal and professional reasons, but came to think that remaining silent had given some people a mis taken impression that he was ashamed. The fact is, Im gay, always have been, always will be, and I couldnt be any more happy, com fortable with myself and proud, he wrote in a letter to Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Beast. Cooper, the son of Gloria Vanderbilt, had long been the subject of rumors about his sexual orienta tion. He said that in a per fect world, it wouldnt be anyones business, but that there is value in standing up and being counted. I still consider myself a reserved person and I hope this doesnt mean an end to a small amount of personal space, he wrote. But I do think visibility is important, more important than preserving my report ers shield of privacy. Poet laureate works on memoir NEW YORK The nations new poet laure ate will be telling her own story, in prose. Natasha Trethewey is working on a memoir, currently untitled, that has been acquired by Ecco. The publisher, an imprint of HarperCollins, announced Monday that the book is scheduled to come out in 2014. The 46-year-old Trethewey is the daughter of a white father and black mother. The memoir will tell of her childhood in the American South in the 1970s and s. Trethewey won the Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for her collection Native Guard.

Baldwin wanted to gut producer NEW YORK If you see Alec Baldwin, better watch your step. He has a volatile per sonality, the 54-year-old actor says in a Vanity Fair cover story. It leads him to behave unreasonably and childishly, he says, acknowledging that he often gave the Heisman, as he put it, to certain people in Hollywood. Baldwin says of TMZ producter Harvey Levin: I wanted to stick a knife in him and gut him and kill him, and I wanted him to die breathing his last breath looking into my eyes.

Columbia County com missioners adopted emer gency ordinances Monday morning aimed at protect ing flood victims. The ordinance prevents people from operating all water vessels in any area outside of usual highwa ter marks on lakes, rivers and other bodies of water, except when necessary to protect people or property, such as residents boating to and from their homes. Vessels are also not allowed to create wakes that create a danger to people, animals or property. It also deals with tres passing on flooded proper ty, unlicensed contractors and service providers offer ing services to flood vic tims and commercial use of large trash bins intended for residential use. The ordinance applies to both unincorporated and incorporated areas in Columbia County. All law enforcement agencies are authorized to enforce the ordinance. The penalty for the first violation is a fine up to $500. Second offenses are second degree misdemeanors. County attorney Marlin Feagle said the ordinanc es put residents on notice and gives law enforcement more ways to protect flood victims. The rules went into effect Monday and last for 30 days. Commissioners can lengthen or shorten that time period, depending on storm recovery. Commissioners also voted to extend the local state of emergency declara tion, which expired Sunday, for another week.

BY E-MAIL: news@lakecityreporter.com Q The Orange County Register Q The Washington Times OPINION Tuesday, July 3, 2012 www.lakecityreporter.com 4A4AOPINION ANOTHER VIEW I f the guarded rhetoric of the 2012 presidential race between President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is an indication, the can-didates are giving God a rest from the public spotlight. I began to notice Gods absence shortly after Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, both bellicose Catholics, left the race for the White House. What I intuited was the disappearance of what Georgetown University professor Jacques Berlinerblau refers to as faith and values politicking -invoking the Almighty in speeches and appealing to the emotions of parti-san audiences with select biblical allusions and personal examples of living as a true believer. He points out that in 2008, for example, then-Illinois Sen. Obama shocked and angered liberal Democrats by promis-ing that as president, he would keep George W. Bushs Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives and would make it a critical part of his administra-tion. Obama was signaling to supporters, Berlinerblau writes, that the Democratic Party no longer should be the Party of Secularism. Berlinerblau refers to this approach as deceptive silence and cites three major reasons for it. First, Romney, the GOPs presumptive nominee, is a Mormon. He is not a Protestant and certain-ly is not an evangelical Christian, a member of the GOPs most reliable voting bloc. As such, he is wary of emphasizing his faith and values bona fides and bring-ing too much attention to tenets of Mormonism out of synch with Protestant beliefs. The second reason for the silence is explained this way. On the presidents side, even if he wants to invoke faith and values, he would risk disaster because, as Berlinerblau writes, the Democratic Party lacks a thought-ful and coherent faith and values platform for Obama to tout on the stump. Those sound bites just are not there. His staunch supporters in progressive denominations fail to raise tons of money and thus fail to guide long lines of believers to the voting booth. Third, Catholic bishops, who head the nations largest denomi-national voting bloc, have taken on faith and values issues that traditionally have belonged to evangelicals. The bishops are painting Obama as the enemy of religious freedom, openly attacking the presidents views on issues such as gay marriage and contraception. The Supreme Courts favorable ruling for the Affordable Care Act will not lure Obama and Romney into the faith and values morass. After all, ultraconservative Catholic bishops and evangelicals already are on the attack. W hen the House voted Thursday to find Attorney General Eric Holder in criminal contempt of Congress, mem-bers of the Congressional Black Caucus walked out. Why is the Black Caucus trying to make this about race? Its about Holders refusal to turn over Justice Department documents requested by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in its investigation of the Fast and Furious operation. Fast and Furious was a gunwalking operation conducted by the departments Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. ATF would allow known smugglers to purchase arms from dealers in Arizona, intending to trace them to their destination with operatives in drug cartels in Mexico. Before the vote, the Black Caucus chairman, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., appeared on CNN calling the House contempt vote silly and detrimental to one human being. On MSNBCs Politics Nation, he told host Rev. Al Sharpton, This is parti-sanship at its most base level. Sure, its an election year. And if you had to stretch to appreci-ate the complaint against Holder being made by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House committee doing the investigation, you might buy Cleavers claim that this was just Republican political grandstand-ing. But you dont have to stretch to appreciate the case against Holder. It seems pretty clear that Fast and Furious was a botched opera-tion. The ATF lost track of some 2,000 weapons that disappeared into the hands of criminals in Mexico. In December 2010, weapons traced to this operation were found on smugglers who murdered U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry. Others were tied to the murder of at least 200 Mexican citizens. The investigation into these ATF activities began with inqui-ries by ranking Senate Judiciary Committee member Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, after Terrys murder. The Justice Department, in a letter to Grassley, initially denied the existence of gun-walking operations. But this picture changed when ATF whistleblow-ers brought facts to the contrary to light. Subsequently, Justice withdrew its letter, saying its denial of these operations exis-tence was mistaken. Whether there is a fire here remains to be seen. But there is plenty of smoke. Yet Cleaver calls the House vote holding Holder in contempt silly? The Black Caucus chair-man should have the opposite reaction, if only for concern for his own community. Illegal drugs smuggled into the U.S. from Mexico cause havoc among black youths. According to the Center for American Progress, there have been more than 25.4 million drug convictions in the U.S. since 1980, and one-third of them were of blacks. To grasp whats really motivating Cleaver, I apply what I call the Time to Kill test. In the 1996 film by that name, a black man in a Mississippi town hires a white lawyer to defend him after he kills two white rac-ists who raped and mutilated his daughter. When the lawyer makes his closing argument, he asks members of the jury to close their eyes. He describes the atrocities done to the girl and concludes: Now, imagine shes white. His black defendant is acquitted. So close your eyes. Consider the details about Fast and Furious and then picture that the attorney general is not Eric Holder but John Ashcroft (whod served under President George W. Bush) and that the murdered border agent, Terry, is black. Would Cleaver now call this contempt vote silly? Would the Black Caucus walk out? For the Black Caucus, this is about racial politics. Fortunately for us, for Issa (who happens to represent my home district in California), this is about shedding light on what might be broken in ATF ops. T he Obama admin-istration is using more than just the Environmental Protection Agency to crucify businesses it doesnt like. Congress wont enact any gun-control mea-sures, and the American people arent interested in paying more at the pump. So President Obama has to get a lot more creative in push-ing his anti-gun, anti-afford-able-energy agenda. His latest technique is dispatch-ing the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to wage small-scale battles against guns and oil. On June 21, the agency announced a safety stand-down at oil and gas opera-tions that will run through July 20. The idea is to tem-porarily stop work while a bureaucrat performs an inspection. It is hoped that the stand-down will not only heighten awareness for work-ers in the oil-and-gas indus-try, but also identify and elim-inate work-related hazards, John Hermanson, OSHAs regional administrator in Dallas, said in a statement. One day earlier, the agency issued a grave warning regarding the purported haz-ards of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, an essential tech-nique for extracting oil and gas from difficult locations. OSHAs complaint is that fracking exposes employees to respirable crystalline sil-ica. Thats a fancy word for the dust kicked up by trucks and other vehicles on a job site. Its a bit suspicious that OSHA bureaucrats havent warned of the same danger at, say, archaeological digs at native American heritage sites. To be sure, the affordablefuels industry needs to take the safety of its employees seriously, but its increas-ingly clear that the Obama administrations goals reach well beyond ensuring a safe work environment. Thats clear from OSHAs outra-geous issuance of $111,000 in proposed fines on June 11 against Illinois Gun Works, a firing range located in the Chicago suburbs. OSHAs complaint only grows more ridiculous when it describes how a range instructor was observed reaching down on the range floor to collect a loaded hand-gun cartridge. The employee was not wearing any hand protection such as gloves. Worse, this maniac was also seen touching a broom han-dle without gloves increas-ing the fine by $4,200. Penalties also racked up because the range care-lessly disregarded the need for a labeling system with hazard warnings, words, pictures, symbols or a combi-nation thereof to let employ-ees know they shouldnt try to drink Hoppes #9 or CLP Break-Free solvent, two com-monly used gun-cleaning products. It also knocked the range for its use of Rust-Oleum spray paint without precautionary measures to protect employees meaning a multi-part training course in how to avoid spraying oneself in the face. Its obvious what the White House is up to, and the American people shouldnt stand for it. The right to keep arms is enshrined in the Constitution; the need for fed-erally approved dust masks, gloves, labels and training courses is not. OSHA needs to stand down. L ost in the controversy over the Supreme Courts ruling on Obamacare was another monumental event Thursday. The U.S. House of Representatives voted to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refus-ing to hand over documents in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal. In it, his department encouraged American gun deal-ers to sell weapons to agents of Mexican druglords as part of an investigation of arms trafficking. After being smuggled from border states into Mexico, the guns have killed dozens of peo-ple, including U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. This was the first time in American history that a sitting attorney general has been held in contempt. The vote was 255-67, largely along partisan lines. Voting yea were 238 Republicans and 17 Democrats. Most Democrats walked out and didnt even vote, a contempt-ible action in itself. This wasnt a vote on ethanol subsidies, for example, but on making sure Congress has all the information it needs to get to the bottom of the deadly fiasco. Mr. Holder said in a letter to President Barack Obama that providing the documents would raise substantial separation-of-powers concerns and potentially create an imbalance in the rela-tionship of the executive branch to Congress. Then how would Congress get to the bottom of an operation that even Mr. Holder has admitted was botched? Mr. Holders refusal to turn over the documents also cre-ates a constitutional crisis. Mr. Holders own Justice Department would have to enforce the con-tempt citation against him; obvi-ously, it wont. So, voters will have to take things into their own hands in November when they will decide if the whole Obama administra-tion is so contemptible it needs to be replaced.

It will be a time we can just relax and celebrate being Americans. The event will feature some of the best musi cal entertainment from throughout North Florida. Vendors will offer a diverse selection of food options and there will be bounce houses and games for chil dren. Entertainment begins at 5 p.m. and the fireworks will launch at 9:20 p.m. There is plenty of park ing and wide open space at the fairgrounds for every one to come out, relax, and enjoy this community event, said Todd Wilson, publisher of the Lake City Reporter and president of the Chamber of Commerce. I urge everyone to Think Lake City First. Bring a canned food donation and help your neighbors who may have lost everything in the flood. The fireworks will be fired from a safe distance behind the rodeo arena. Spectators must bring their own lawn chair or blanket and also are encouraged to bring mosquito repellant and drink plenty of water in the heat. Spectators will set up their chairs in the field normally used for park ing during the Columbia County Fair. They will face the rodeo arena to enjoy the live music and watch the fireworks. Parking areas will be in the south field beside the rodeo arena or inside the fence at the fair grounds complex (the area where the midway is set up during the fair). Parking attendants will be available beginning at 4:30 p.m. to assist visitors with orga nized parking. Beginning at noon Wednesday, a portion of Southwest Bascom Norris Drive through the fair grounds complex, immedi ately in front of the rodeo arena, will be closed to traffic. Visitors may drive to the parking areas from Branford Highway via the open portion of Southwest Bascom Norris Drive that will end at the parking lot at the rodeo arena, or via Southwest Mary Ethel Lane that will provide access to the normal fairgrounds fenced-in area that will be used for parking. Lake City Police Department person nel will provide traffic con trol for the crowd moving into and out of the fair grounds complex following the fireworks. LCPD urges everyone interested in the fireworks show to make the effort to park at the designated areas at the fairgrounds. No parking will be allowed on the shoulders of nearby roads because of safety concerns and the need to keep main thoroughfares clear for emergency vehi cles assisting residents. We really appreci ate Columbia County Resources stepping up and assisting us at the last min ute with the venue, Decker said. We also want to thank the Lake City Public Works Department, Lake City Police Department, Lake City Fire Department and Lifeguard Ambulance Service for their coopera tion in moving this event to the fairgrounds. We appre ciate the effort of everyone especially our sponsors and vendors in making this Chamber event a suc cess. Bank senior vice president. Until his death, Green was active as an honored member of the banks board of directors, serving on the loan and audit committees. Green was the son of the late Louis C. and Civille Perry Green. A 1942 Columbia High School grad uate, Green attended the University of Florida before entering what would later become the U.S. Air Force during World War II. After his military service, he graduated from UF in 1949 and began his career at Columbia County Bank. The banks name changed to Columbia Bank in 2006. He was a very modest person, said his wife of six years, Dot Jean Green. He never took credit for it, but he did a lot. Growing up in Lake City, she said she knew Green all her life. We had a wonderful neighborhood bunch, she said. He was one of the most Christian, loving people and yet he wasnt dull. He was witty and mysterious at times, she said. During the war, Green wrote letters home and took pictures, which he donated to a World War II museum in Tallahassee, she said. The couple was almost fin ished with a scrapbook of his life, letters and photog raphy. Around town, people would thank him for loan ing them money to start businesses, she said. Some even thanked him for not granting a loan that would have been a mistake, she said. Robert Louis was one of the best, she said. Its quite a loss, said Lester Scaff, Columbia Bank Board of Directors chairman and S&S Food Stores owner. He was a pretty outstanding individ ual, I think, Scaff said. Green enjoyed gardening, his family farm, Tiger foot ball, photography and golf, said his son, Robin Green. A fan of 1940s big band music, Green said, his father transferred old records onto CDs, introducing each song, and gave them away. Green said he has a CD in his car to listen to his fathers voice and music. He loved what he did. He loved helping people, Green said. Quick to forgive, Green said his father didnt like to take credit for his good deeds. He was an all-around good guy. Im going to miss him. Green was a member of the Lake City Rotary Club and served as secretary for 15 years and president in 1970. He served on the board of Columbia County Chamber of Commerce and at one time was treasurer of the local Salvation Army. He was appointed by the governor to the Lake City Library Board and was instrumental in the initial organization of the library. He was elected president of the Columbia High School Alumnae Association and was chairman of the group two Florida Brokers Association. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church where he was a Deacon Emeritus after 35 years on the board of directors. Green was preceded in death by his first wife of 53 years, Grace Green in 2004, and two grandchil dren, Colby and Cooper Green in 2005. Green is survived by his wife, Dot Jean Green of Lake City; his son Robin Green (Karen) of Lake City; and granddaughter Stephanie Grace Green of Lake City. Funeral services will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Dr. Roy A. Martin, Jr. officiat ing. Interment will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens Cemetery.

The next frontier for Tiger is winning majorsBy DOUG FERGUSONAssociated PressBETHESDA, Md.  For all the endless parallels between the so-called new Tiger Woods and the old one, this was one compari-son he didnt mind. Winning at Congressional made it seem like 2009 all over again. Woods returned from a significant leg injury back then amid questions whether he could be the same golfer he once was. He answered by winning Bay Hill, Memorial and the AT&T National in the first half of the season, and he wound up winning six times on the PGA Tour, seven worldwide. This time, he is coming off a year in which he sat out three months and two majors to allow left leg inju-ries to fully heal. Halfway through the season, he has won those same three tour-naments, so perhaps he is headed toward another year like 2009. Well, I had a good year that year. I think I won six times that year. That would be nice if I could get that same total, Woods said, pausing to smile before adding, with a couple of majors in there. Therein lies the difference  and the challenge. Its all about the majors, isnt it? PGA Tour events should not be dismissed. Congressional was tough-er than it was for the U.S. Open last year. An argument could be made that no other golf course on U.S. soil did a better job identify-ing who played the best that week. It was the 74th career win for Woods, moving him past Jack Nicklaus into sec-ond place, leaving him only eight tour wins short of Sam Sneads record. Even so, thats one of the few times Woods and Nicklaus are mentioned together when the topic is not major championships. Majors are said to be the toughest to win, though that can be debated. The conditions tend to be so extreme they expose and eliminate those who dont have full control of their game and their emotions. Thats what Phil Mickelson suggested in 2001 at the PGA Championship when Woods picks up win at Congressional. WOODS continued on 2B ASSOCIATED PRESSSabine Lisicki of Germany reacts winning against Maria Sharapova of Russia during a fourth round single match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledo n, England, on Monday. Into the semifinalsLisicki ousts Sharapova in 4th round at WimbledonBy HOWARD FENDRICHAssociated PressWIMBLEDON, England  All at once, there was a frenzy of activity at a wet and windy All England Club early Monday afternoon. Top-seeded and 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova, a big hitter in her own right, was overpowered in a 6-4, 6-3 loss to No. 15 Sabine Lisicki. Four-time title win-ner Serena Williams was locked in a three-set tussle against a wild-card entry from Kazakhstan who is ranked 65th but is respon-sible for the only perfect set in womens professional tennis. Defending champi-on Petra Kvitova was trying to come back after drop-ping her opening set. Oh, and over on Centre Court, there was the not-soinsignificant matter of 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federers medical timeout to get treatment for his aching back. The start of Week 2 at Wimbledon has been dubbed Manic Monday, because its the only major tournament that schedules all 16 fourth-round singles matches on one day. Sure lived up to that moniker this year, even if rain prevented five of the eight mens matches from finishing. The most newsworthy result was the abrupt end of Sharapovas bid to become the first woman since Williams in 2002 to win the French Open and Wimbledon in the same year. Less than a month after completing a career Grand Slam in Paris to return to No. 1, Sharapova bowed out against someone she had beaten the three other times they met. She will be replaced atop the rankings next week. Nothing is easy. Certainly not a Wimbledon title, Sharapova said. So I dont know if its easier or tougher now than it was years ago, but I dont think its ever easier. Federer, seeking a seventh trophy at the grass-court Grand Slam, beat Xavier Malisse 7-6 (1), 6-1, 4-6, 6-3 to reach a 33rd con-secutive major quarterfinal, adding to his record. After the seventh game, Federer got help from a trainer for his back. When he returned, his play didnt appear to suf-fer all that much, other than slower-than-usual serves. On the other hand, Federer capped the match with a 122 mph ace. Honestly, Im not too worried. Ive had bad backs over the years. Ive been around. They go as quick as they came, he said. But of course I have to keep an eye on it now. Federer now faces No. 26 No. 1 ranked player makes early departure.

Fort White 15U could play for championship today By BRANDON FINLEYbfinley@lakecityreporter.comFORT WHITE  Fort Whites 15-under all-star team made it 3-0 in pool play with the conclusion of the early-round games in the Babe Ruth Small League Tournament in Fort White on Monday. Fort White dusted off Normandy, 13-4, on Monday after beating Melrose, 11-1, on Sunday. JJ Cohrs picked up the win on Sunday with three pitchers combining to give up one hit for Fort White. Rhett Willis struck out three batters in his one-inning pitched and Austin Dupree pitched the remain-ing innings. Tyler Wendel finished the game with three hits to lead the team while Willis and Willie Carter each had doubles. Trace Wilkinson, Brent Beach and Dupree all had hits. The entire Fort White team was hot at the plate on Monday. Wendel again finished with three hits. Wilkinson, Carter, Hal Sharpe and Cohrs all had doubles in the game. Willis, Beach and Wesley Blakely each had hits. Fort White will play in the semifinals against Jefferson at 9 a.m. today and the championship game will pit the winner against the winner of Marrietta Bullsbay and Middleburg at 11:30 a.m. Columbia was eliminated from the tournament after pool play with a 2-1 record.

DEAR ABBY: I want you to know that you saved my life. I was a lonely, desper-ate woman, dying a slow and painful death. I had an eating disorder and weighed more than 400 pounds. I was taking many different medications and suffering from depression, high blood pressure and other ailments. Most of them were the result of my addictive eating. I wore a size 52 dress and had 89-inch hips. I had trouble caring for myself and I wanted to die. One day, I saw a letter you had printed from a woman who seemed to know what I was feeling. She had gone to a 12-step program and was happy, successful and free from her addictive eating disor-der. Seeing her letter gave me a spark of hope. I sought and found a pro-gram called Overeaters Anonymous and began attending meetings. I took a sponsor and am in recovery from the food addiction. I lost more than 300 pounds and have lived in a normal-sized body for eight years. (It took a long time to lose that weight safely and sanely.) Thanks to that letter in your column, and your continuing support of the 12-step programs, I am liv-ing a life that I never imag-ined possible. No words can ever express the gratitude I feel for what you have done for me and many others. At our meet-ings, speakers often share that they found recovery because of a letter to Dear Abby. Please keep the word going that there is hope for us, no matter how far down we are or how far we have gone. -JANET IN ORLANDO, FLA. DEAR JANET: Thank you for a heartwarming let-ter. Its gratifying to know you were helped because of something you read in my column. Overeaters Anonymous has more than 6,500 groups in more than 80 countries. There are no requirements for member-ship except a desire to stop eating compulsively. I have attended some of the meetings. There is no shaming, no weighing and no embarrassment -only a fellowship of compas-sionate people who share a common problem. To locate a chapter go to www.oa.org, or send a long, self-addressed stamped envelope to Overeaters Anonymous World Service Office, P.O. Box 44020, Rio Rancho, NM 87174-4020. The email address is info@oa.org. ** ** **DEAR ABBY: We have a friend who lives in another city and takes a lot of trips. She visits me a couple of times a year. When she does, she brings along a large photo album from her most recent vacation and insists we sit down with her so she can give us a running commentary about each snapshot. Abby, her travelogues last an hour or more. Were pleased that our friend enjoys her trips, but we no longer wish to be subjected to her presen-tations. We would never expect her -or anyone -to view all the pictures we take on our travels. How can we gently explain this to her? -WEARY IN THE WEST DEAR WEARY: The next time your houseguest hauls out her photo album, try this: Tell her youd love to hear about her trip, but youd like her to show you only two or three of her favorite pictures from her most memorable des-tination. That may narrow the field and shorten the monologue. DILBERT BABY BLUES HOROSCOPES DEAR ABBY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Avoid unwinnable emotional situations. Focus on doing a great job or put-ting together an updated resume and looking for something new and excit-ing to do with your time. Networking will lead to a positive change of plans. ++ TAURUS (April 20May 20): Participation will enhance your options regarding work, money and the skills you have to offer. Discuss your plans with friends and relatives and you will receive plenty of input. Dont feel you have to make an impulsive move. Time is on your side. +++++ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Money will go out as quickly as it comes in if you arent careful when it comes to impulsive pur-chases. Slow down and think matters through before you make a com-mitment that may not be a good fit for you in the future. +++ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your thoughts and secrets private for now. Re-evaluate what your next move is going to be before you make it public. Dont let an emotional situ-ation or partnership lead you astray. Follow the path that suits you best. +++ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Dont bend to peer pres-sure or fall for an embel-lished version of whats being offered. Size up your situation and know the facts before you make a promise that may not be to your advantage. Love is in the stars. +++ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Getting involved in activities that interest you will help you find a new pastime that relieves stress and helps you meet new people. Dont let some-one stand in the way or lead you in a direction that doesnt fit your life. +++++ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Spreading knowledge, information and ideas to people you want to share with will open up all sorts of new possibilities. Getting out and exploring new places, people and activities will motivate you to make overdue changes. ++ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Youll have a good overview of what everyone else is doing and how you can work alongside the people you enjoy most. A creative suggestion or move will lead to good for-tune, as long as you stick to a set budget. ++++ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Bounce ideas off of someone you find progressive and positive. Working in unison with others will bring great results. High energy and great ideas will lead to recognition and potentially long-term partnerships, contracts and cash. +++ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19): Get your priorities straight before you pro-ceed. Discipline and find-ing out firsthand whats needed in order to reach a set goal will be a must. Take measures to enhance a personal relationship with someone you are con-nected to financially. +++ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): Put feelers out to people you have worked with or for in the past, and make suggestions regard-ing what you have to offer now. There are profits to be made and positive changes to implement, both personally and profes-sionally. +++ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Its what you do and the way you do it that will count. Offer positive sug-gestions and hands-on help to avoid any repercussions that can result from being critical. Overreacting, over-indulging or overspend-ing will lead to trouble. ++++ CELEBRITY CIPHER Abigail Van Burenwww.dearabby.com BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY B.C.
